can anybody please help me to understand some of the things regarding tire dynamics?

first of all , while tire is rotating on a road, what are the factors to be considered to find the contact area, and slip area?
second, dissipation, what is the main factor that lead to dissipation , is it the friction of road and tire or is it the damping in the material itself?
It would be nice if some one can suggest any gud text on this
thank you
